Independent measurement · August 2026
The chimney sweeps AI actually recommends.
Homeowners don't just search anymore — they ask AI who to see. So we measured the answer. We asked for the best chimney sweep in 0 U.S. metros, 0 different ways each — 0 checks in all — and recorded every company it named.
Only 0.0%
of the 0 U.S. chimney sweeps we benchmarked ever came up. These are the ones homeowners are told to see.

Measured August 21, 2026 on leading AI assistants: 0 metros × 0 question phrasings = 0 checks. How we measured it
The most recommended chimney sweeps, metro by metro
Every metro below was benchmarked the same way: 5 homeowner-style questions, every answer recorded. Pick your city to see the full measured list.
AI's answer moves between checks, so we publish how many of the 0 checks named each one instead of a rank that would change if we asked again.
Measured, never sold.
No chimney sweep can pay to appear on these lists. A company is listed only because AI actually recommended it when we asked — more than once. We publish how many of the checks named each one, not a place, because the count holds up when we ask again and a place doesn't. That's the whole formula.

How did you measure which U.S. chimney sweeps AI recommends?
We asked leading AI assistants the questions real homeowners ask — like "Who is the best chimney sweep near me?" — 0 different ways, and recorded every company recommended. Each company on this list was named in more than one of those answers, and we publish how many named it rather than a place in a ranking — ask AI again and the top name often changes, but the count holds. We ran 0 checks for this market and compared the answers against the 0 U.S. companies in our dataset.
Can a chimney sweep pay to be on this list?
No. This list is measured, never sold. A company appears on it only if AI actually recommended it when we asked. Money cannot buy a place on this list. Sponsored blocks are labeled advertising and sit outside the ranked list.
What does it mean if a company is NOT on this list?
It means that when we asked leading AI assistants for a chimney sweep in U.S., that company never came up. That says nothing about the quality of their work — only that homeowners who ask AI for a recommendation are being sent somewhere else. Most companies haven't shown up in AI answers yet, so the list is short.
How often is this updated?
We re-run the same benchmark quarterly with the same methodology, so companies that improve their AI visibility can appear in the next update. This edition was measured in August 2026.
